I know these are brand new to the market but just wondering if anybody has been able to test them out on the water yet? How do they compare to the Fury series? I expect typical great Dobyns quality but do they meet those expectations?

I would be interested in a review as well.  I am debating between a Maverick and a Fury in ML spinning.  If anyone has an opinions, it would be greatly appreciated.  

 

Almost a hundred views and nobody has one that they've had a chance to try out and would like to share their opinions? Not trying to be rude or disrespectful in any way...just find it puzzling  

they look identical to the Colt series except the only difference that I see is the Maverick integrates kevlar wrapping. the blank also may be slightly different, but i am not sure.

Looking at the specified features, the Maverick is missing some cork and the Fuji reel seat when compared to the Fury.  Anybody with a Colt have any issues with the reel seat on either the spinning or casting model?  I am really tempted by the Maverick in spinning over the Fury because it comes in a 6'9" model that I could also use for small jerkbaits along with finesse plastics.

I heard that the Maverick does have the Fuji reel seat. Hmmm, wonder what's correct?

I was just going off of what was listed on the Dobyns website.  Usually, Fuji reel seats are listed as a feature, but it was not in the case of the Maverick.  When you look at the pictures, the reel seat looks like the same one on the Fury which explicitly states that it is a Fuji reel seat, but I am no expert on the subject.  

No thank you. I’m waiting on the Iceman series! ?

 

@Columbia Craw picked up a couple of them and gave some first impressions in this thread. Fuji reel seats according to him.

 

I'm interested in them, but have yet to come across one in person so have managed to fight off the bait monkey for now.

Maverick, I’m your huckleberry!

The Mavericks have a Fuji reel seat.  The blank is Mitsubishi material, graphite and Kevlar wrapped. Sea Guides with the proper count and no line contact with the blank under full flex.  Great balance and decent sensitivity at this price point.

You've asked the same question I was wondering. I'm really curious if the rods are the same (Maverick vs Fury), except for EVA instead of cork and the lifetime warranty. How different is the blank material?
